Chapter 5, The Old Corpse

"You, you are..." Cai Laoshi's eyes widened in shock. "Generally speaking, when an old corpse invades a human body, there is an adaptation period of about one year. During this period, the host will have two consciousnesses coexisting, so sometimes one may not be aware of what the other half has done. A year ago, it should have been when you fainted at Huangshan Hospital that the old corpse found you. I suspect this is a millennium-old Huangshan old corpse. After the adaptation period, you will be able to become a qualified old corpse," I explained patiently. "Oh, I see. But why can't I remember anything about killing the old lady and Doctor Zhao? And when did I become an old corpse?" Mr. Cai asked, puzzled. "Thank you. After I discovered that I really had no internal organs that day, I ran away from home. Meeting you today has finally cleared my doubts. By the way, how do you know so much?" Mr. Cai asked sincerely. My smile grew wider: "Welcome to Vancouver." "I still don't understand, as a real old corpse, why am I not afraid of Shanxi old vinegar?" he pondered. "Thank you. After I discovered that I really had no internal organs that day, I ran away from home. Meeting you today has finally cleared my doubts. By the way, how do you know so much?" Mr. Cai asked sincerely. My smile grew wider: "Welcome to Vancouver." "I still don't understand, as a real old corpse, why am I not afraid of Shanxi old vinegar?" he pondered. "In the future, you will slowly remember everything from the past thousand years," I added. The rain outside grew heavier, the raindrops tapping against the glass window with a rustling sound. Mr. Cai let out a long sigh, having finished his story, raised his glass, and drank it all in one go. I poured him another glass. The rain outside grew heavier, the raindrops tapping against the glass window with a rustling sound. Mr. Cai let out a long sigh, having finished his story, raised his glass, and drank it all in one go. I smiled and said to him: "It's very simple. The ancient method of using Shanxi old vinegar to kill corpses and drive away ghosts used traditional brewed vinegar in ancient times, while the barrel of vinegar you bought is modern chemically synthesized vinegar, which has completely lost its efficacy." "Indeed, I am an old corpse."

"You, you are..." Cai Laoshi's eyes widened in astonishment

Generally speaking, the invasion of an old corpse into a human body has an adaptation period of about one year. During this period, there will be two consciousnesses coexisting within the host, which is why sometimes one may be unaware of what the other half has done. A year ago, it was likely when you fainted at Huangshan Hospital that the old corpse approached you. I suspect this is a millennium-old corpse from Huangshan. After the adaptation period, you will be able to become a qualified old corpse.

Oh, I see. But why can't I remember anything about the murder of the old lady and Dr. Zhao? And when did I become a corpse?

Thank you. The day I discovered that I truly had no internal organs, I ran away from home. It was only today, upon meeting you, that my doubts were alleviated. By the way, how do you know so much? Mr. Cai asked sincerely

My smile grew even wider: "Welcome to Vancouver"

I still do not understand, I am the true old corpse, why am I not afraid of Shanxi aged vinegar? He seemed to be pondering.

In the future, you will gradually remember everything that has happened over the millennia

The rain outside is getting heavier, with raindrops tapping against the glass window, creating a rustling sound

Mr. Cai let out a long sigh, having finished his story. He raised his glass and drank it all in one go, and I poured him another cup.

I laughed and said to him: "This is very simple. The ancient method of using Shanxi aged vinegar to kill corpses and drive away ghosts relied on traditionally brewed vinegar, while the barrel of vinegar you bought is a modern chemically synthesized vinegar, which has completely lost its efficacy"

Indeed, I am the old corpse
